11 Best Hairsprays

The competition for best hairspray is stiff, but these products hold up, say our readers

No. 5: Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Finishing Spray, $16.99
TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 9.0* Why it's great: Multiple reviewers comment on the clean delivery of this hairspray, saying that the nozzle doesn't get "gunky" like other hairsprays do. This extra-large can "always distributes evenly" and has a "very strong hold" that reviewers say keeps hairstyles in place on even the windiest nights. Readers report that it also helps "hold curls."

Sebastian Shaper is a good hairspray but I cannot stand the smell. I've never understood the following for Elnet either. I don't get the best results and it too smells bad. My favorite is Sexy Hair Soy Touchable hair spray.

Helpful article; there are so many hairsprays on the market making the same claims that is it nearly impossible to decide which to choose. I swear by Phyto haircare products, though - the shampoo and conditioner leave my hair so clean and fresh, and the styling products hold beautifully without weighing my hair down. It is liberating to feel your hair flow freely without worrying that movement will cause frizziness and dullness or simply mess your hair up.
